If you’re looking for a modern and minimalistic plug-and- play sauna house for your backyard, the Saunum Classic is just what you need. Blending classic style with gorgeous materials, functional Nordic design and the skilled work of Saunum‘s master craftsmen, a high-quality sauna experience is guaranteed.
Add in the Saunum heater with its unique climate device, and your sauna will be transformed into a tranquil 5-in-1 home spa that delivers an unprecedented steam experience. When mixed with soft, oxygen-rich air, the steam becomes milder, making it much easier to breathe so you can simply relax as you enjoy the classic steam sauna experience or choose between a salt-ion sauna, a mild steam-rich sauna, a relaxing sauna or an aroma sauna.
Highly Customisable
As can be seen from the raft of options above, you can tailor the Saunum Classic to suit you or your clients requirements.
Exterior Finish - Black, Anthracite or Light Grey
The Saunum Classic offers a choice of exterior finishes in Anthracite (as standard), Black, or Light Grey. This allows for seamless integration into various outdoor settings, ensuring the sauna complements your garden or poolside with its elegant design. Each option maintains the sauna's modern appeal, catering to different stylistic preferences.
Glass Colour - Clear, Bronze or Grey
This selection allows for further personalisation of the sauna, catering to different preferences for light and privacy. Clear glass maximises natural light and visibility, bronze offers a warmer, subtle tint, while grey provides a sleek, contemporary look with added privacy. Each option enhances the overall aesthetic of the sauna while aligning with individual style and functional needs.
Interior Cladding - Alder or Thermo-Aspen
The Saunum Classic comes standard with an Alder wood interior cladding, celebrated for its soothing and warm qualities. For those looking for an upgrade, the option of Thermo-Aspen wood is available. Thermo-Aspen is valued for its enhanced durability and excellent resistance to temperature variations, making it an ideal choice for frequent sauna use. Its fine texture and subtle aroma add to the luxurious sauna experience, while its thermal treatment process boosts its longevity and reduces the likelihood of warping or decay, ensuring a pristine and long-lasting sauna environment.
Bench/Backrest - Alder or Thermo-Aspen Wood
The Saunum Classic standard option includes the I-Shaped bench, elegantly crafted in Alder wood. For those who prefer a different wood type, the sauna interior can be customised in Thermo-Aspen wood, a premium option known for its durability and resistance to temperature changes, enhancing the sauna's longevity and aesthetic appeal.
A Symphony of Light and Sound
The Saunum Classic is equipped with both indoor and outdoor LED lights, creating an atmosphere that shifts to match your mood. As the daylight fades, the dimmable lights (optional extra) cast a soft glow, enhancing the natural beauty of the Alder cladding. For the audiophiles, Bluetooth speakers are available as an optional extra to be seamlessly integrated, allowing you to immerse yourself in the soundscape of your choice, completing the multi-sensory experience.
Technical Sophistication
The Saunum Classic is not just about aesthetics and comfort; it's also built with technical precision. From the self-closing door with a natural oak and stainless steel handle to the insulated walls ensuring efficient heat retention, every detail is designed with your convenience in mind.
Tailor-Made
Experience the uniqueness of your wellness journey with the highly customisable Saunum Classic Outdoor Sauna, featuring a variety of exterior finishes, glass tones, and interior claddings to fit your personal style. Your sauna experience will be tailored to your individuality, making it truly one of a kind.

The Saunum Experience and Saunum Spa Session are two advanced sauna heaters designed to offer premium sauna experiences, but they cater to different needs and budgets. The Saunum Experience is a versatile home spa heater with power options ranging from 3.6 kW to 9 kW, making it suitable for smaller sauna rooms (2–10 m³). It features a compact design available in black or anthracite grey, with an adjustable height and the option for open or closed stone baskets. Control is managed via the Saunum Leil or Leil Mobile control unit, and it includes a patented air-blending system that enriches the air with Himalayan salt ions for a relaxing sauna experience.
On the other hand, the Saunum Spa Session, is tailored for larger sauna rooms (6–12 m³) with power options of 6 kW and 9 kW. This model boasts a durable construction using Magnelis® and stainless steel, with dual-level stone baskets for enhanced energy efficiency. It comes with an integrated touchscreen control unit and Wi-Fi capability for remote operation. The Spa Session also includes a steam guidance positioner for optimal air distribution and maintains the same patented air-blending system as the Experience. The Spa Session is ideal for those seeking a more luxurious and feature-rich sauna experience with advanced control options and greater power capacity.

All Saunum products are made to order in Estonia, the home of the sauna. We will handle everything in terms of delivery to your doorstep, however the sauna will need to be unloaded by you this customer. Please consult this installation guide.
Delivery to your doorstep is free. Using a forklift to offload is strongly advised, regardless of whether the sauna is delivered as a flat pack or assembled. Many customers arrange delivery to a site with forklift access. We recommend being on-site with a trailer that can handle loads up to 1,600 kg and 5 metres long. If a forklift is unavailable, manual offloading is possible with 4-6 people; note that the driver will not assist but will provide 2 hours for offloading, with a penalty fee for any additional time.
We'll coordinate the flatbed delivery to suit your schedule, notifying you once the pickup date is confirmed and keeping you updated until delivery.
If forklift access is impractical, hiring a crane or a HIAB might be necessary. While we can facilitate this, however, arranging it yourself is usually more cost-effective.
The electrical supply required will depend on the kW rating of your chosen heater. We strongly recommend consulting with an electrician prior to any installation.
Typically, a 'dedicated' supply is utilised, similar to those for electric showers or cookers.
To calculate Amps:
- Divide the Watts (e.g., 6000 for a 6kW heater) by the Volts (commonly 230)
- Therefore, the Amps for a 6kW heater approximately equal 25
This small table covers domestic sauna heaters:
- 2.3kW = approximately 10 Amps
- 3.0kW = 13 Amps
- 3.6kW = 15 Amps
- 4.5kW = 19 Amps
- 6.0kW = 26 Amps
- 8.0kW = 35 Amps
- Heaters above 8.0 kW typically require a Three-Phase (commercial-type) supply.
We strongly advise the use of a fully qualified electrician, compliant with all Government Regulations.
Sauna Heater Manuals
